Dragoons: A Rotation Reborn

[Lucael_Shikaree]

Is it actually better to stagger power surge/life surge/internal release/jump in such a way that it will line up with the next BfB, or is it better to use it when it's up?

When it's up. Until you must hold down the CD for a reason, you should use your CDs every time they're up, waiting for "line up" it's not considered an efficient approach. This doesn't apply for Spineshatter/Dragonfire/Elusive in some fight where you may want to use them to move around.
